A Shade Above the Rest ...

People are spending more and more money on sunscreen and anti-wrinkle cream, but are forgetting about protecting their eyes from the sun. It is important to protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation (Uv rays). Sunlight does more damage to the eyes than simple deepening laugh lines. Many people are surprised to learn that it is possible to sunburn the eye, or that the sun can be a contributing factor to ocular complications including cataracts, pterygium, macular degeneration, intraocular tumors and skin cancer around the eye area.

It is important to protect your eyes with proper quality sunglasses. Sunglasses that are optically made offer the best quality. Optically made means that the sunglasses are made the same way as everyday eyeglasses. In fact, most eyeglass manufacturers are our suppliers of sunglasses. This is what sets apart drug store and gas station sunglasses from high quality sunglasses. Starting with the lenses; high quality sunglasses are optically manufactured and polished, where the cheap poor quality ones are stamped out of a sheet of thin plastic. Optically made lenses also use the best materials such as polycarbonate, glass and plastic.  Some will have scratch resistant coatings and/or anti-reflective coatings. All have 100% UV protection and some are polarized. Polarized lenses have a special filter built in to reduce glare from water, sand, snow and pavement. Only high quality materials go into sunglass frames. Metals with low nickel content are used. This prevents early breakdown of the metal and is less likely to cause allergic reactions. Stainless steel and titanium are new materials starting to be used more in sunglass frames. Other frames details which are given lots of attention are the solderjoints, applied color, multi-layers or clear-coat finish, spring hinges and even down to the eyewire and hinge screws. Most of these screws have a silicon strip inserted to inhibit the screws coming loose.
